Configuring people awareness to work across Domino Directory and a non-Domino portal LDAP directory

You can edit the CSEnvironment.properties file to support Sametime-based people awareness features in a portal site in which Lotus Sametime uses a native Domino Directory as the repository for Lotus Sametime user names, and the WebSphere Portal Express user repository is in a non-Domino LDAP, such as IBM^® Tivoli^® Directory Server.

Configuration settings for server-to-server connections for WebSphere Portal Express and the Lotus Sametime server are in the CSEnvironment.properties file. You must add the correct values for two properties to support people awareness. After you make these changes, name mapping issues between the Lotus Sametime server and the portal server will resolve. Perform the following steps:

1. Modify the CSEnvironment.properties file.
2. Locate the property CS_SERVER_SAMETIME_1.nameFormatForResolve.
3. Remove the comment tag (#) from the beginning of the line, if a comment tag is present.
4. Change the value for this property to loginName or cn. For example, CS_SERVER_SAMETIME_1.nameFormatForResolve=loginName Note: The value loginName is the preferred setting. The value loginName in the LDAP for WebSphere Portal Express should be present in the Domino Directory as the Short Name/UserID field. If cn is specified, the Common Name in the LDAP for WebSphere Portal Express should be present in the Domino Directory, as one of the entries in the User Name field.
5. Locate the property CS_SERVER_SAMETIME_1.dnNameSeparator.
6. Remove the comment tag (#) from the beginning of the line, if a comment tag is present.
7. Change the value for this property to /. For example, CS_SERVER_SAMETIME_1.dnNameSeparator=/.
